WWII, sure. Cold War, fat chance - the USSR was defeated by the mujahideen and then succeeded by Yeltsin and a bald ape that killed 800,000 trained men to take 1/3rd of Ukraine.

Ok you are right. But lets see what current US administration is going to do.

Peace in Ukraine isn't contingent on US support. Their allegiance with America is one of the last things stopping them from attacking Russia's crude oil fleets and sending Russia's economic backbone into a suicide spiral: https://oec.world/profile/country/rus#yearly-trade

Truly, Donald Trump could decide tomorrow to refuse audience with Zelenskyy and only meet with Putin. Russia's treasury would be hemorrhaging within a week and the government would be paralyzed in the middle of an active invasion. That would be dangerous for America and NATO allies, but what does that concern a non-member like Ukraine after all?

Russia has spent 30 years on life support. America and Ukraine simply disagree on how we pull the plug.
